The sample size is small, but through No. 9 Auburn’s first two games, Chuma Okeke is putting up numbers that, frankly, look like something you might see in a video game.

The sophomore power forward scored 20 points with nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals against South Alabama this past Tuesday. He followed up that performance with 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal against then-No. 25 Washington on Friday.

Okeke has made 14 of 22 shots (63.6 percent), 6 of 8 attempts from beyond the arc (75 percent) and all five of his free throws. He has a plus-minus rating of plus-79 in two games Auburn won by only 65 combined points.

On Monday, he was named SEC Player of the Week.

“He just makes it look easy. That’s just a really intelligent player,” head coach Bruce Pearl said after the win over the Jaguars. “He makes us better.”

But when you ask teammates about Okeke — as reporters have after each of the Tigers’ first two games — none of them seem at all surprised by what the 6-foot-8, 230-pound forward is doing.

For Auburn fans who watched the former four-star recruit average 7.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals in 21.6 minutes per game off the bench as a true freshman last season, it looks the start of a breakout campaign.

For guards Jared Harper, Bryce Brown and Samir Doughty, what Okeke has done through two games was about what they expected.

Harper has known Okeke since they were young. Both hail from Georgia (Harper from Mableton, Okeke from Atlanta), and the two went head-to-head in high school.

“He'd have 40 points, 20 rebounds and five blocks. Stuff like that,” Harper said after Auburn’s win over South Alabama. Okeke probably did that to a lot of teams as a senior at Westlake High, when he averaged 24.4 points, 15 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.4 steals and one block per game en route to being named Georgia’s Mr. Basketball.

Brown: “He does everything for us, so I mean, he’s even an underrated passer. People probably haven’t seen that yet, but he’s even an underrated passer. He has such a good feel and good IQ for the game, so I mean, he’s just a great player. Enjoy playing with him.”

Okeke was a catalyst in that win over Washington. Mike Hopkins’ Huskies play the same brand of 2-3 zone defense as Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse teams do, and Pearl thought the Tigers could take advantage of their power forward in the middle, both for his ability to get to the rim and facilitate from the post.

His player efficiency rating (which combines points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, and subtracts missed shots and turnovers) of 28 was higher than any player on the floor. It was in the exhibition win over Lincoln Memorial, too, when he scored 11 points with 11 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and a steal.

That’s the player Pearl hoped Okeke would be, especially once Desean Murray transferred after last season and opened up a starting role for him. The fifth-year Auburn coach said in January that the then-freshman was a “brown bear” he was waiting to transform into a full-blown grizzly. Through two games, it’s hard to argue that he hasn’t.

Okeke is averaging 19.5 points, 9.5 rebounds 3.5 assists, 2.5 blocks and 2 steals per game. The list of college basketball players who have averaged at least 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals per game over the course of a full season since 1992 (that’s as far back as College Basketball Reference’s play index goes) has only three names on it: Houston’s Bo Outlaw (1992-93), Mississippi Valley State’s Kenyon Ross (1996-97) and Jacksonville’s Hammin Quaintance (2004-05).

Only two players at Auburn during the same span have averaged at least one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal per game: Kenny Gabriel (2011-12) and T.J. Dunans (2015-16).

Again, it’s a small sample size. The Tigers play their third game Wednesday night against Division II Mississippi College, and the schedule gets much tougher with the Maui Invitational starting on Nov. 19.

But what Okeke has done in two games so far is impressive, even if his teammates don’t seem fazed by it.
